Drake Confirms He Has a Secret Son on New Album ‘Scorpion’

Back in May, Pusha-T set the internet ablaze with "The Story of Adidon," a searing diss track that proclaims, among other things, that Drake has been hiding a child. It wasn't a new revelation — that Drake has a secret son had been a long-running, if salacious, rumor — but it did push it back into the public eye. And on Drake's newly released double album, Scorpion, he confirms Pusha's claim, is, in fact, true.

The 31-year-old rapper addresses his fatherhood on at least two of the record's songs.

“Look at the way we live / I wasn’t hiding my kid from the world, I was hiding the world from my kid,” he explains of his decision to keep his family life private on "Emotionless."

"Breaking news in my life, I don’t run to the blogs / The only ones I wanna tell are the ones I can call / They always ask, ‘Why let the story run if it’s false?’ / You know a wise man once said nothing at all.”

"She’s not my lover like Billie Jean but the kid is mine/ Sandi used to tell me all it takes is one time, and all it took was one time/ S—, we only met two times, two times,” he raps, referring to his mom Sandi Graham. “It's breakin' my spirit / Single father, I hate when I hear it / I used to challenge my parents on every album/ Now I’m embarrassed to tell them I ended up as a co-parent."
